syumisan Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 It's funny cause people think SyumiSan is my real name when it isn't lol. But all seriousness, I do not mind sharing my real name, It is unique to me cause I do not know many people with it either hahahaha. Wanna know?

TOAST13TOA5T Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Uhh, my name is David...and I'm an addict. At first it was just one, y'know? It was exciting, fun and a lot of other people were doing it too. It made me feel good about myself, then it started to be all I thought about. Soon i started using whatever i could get my hands on, no matter if it was the premium regular stuff or cheap and uncheerful stuff to fuel the habit. Then it was less fun, I was losing sleep and gaining agitation, it was then I realised, it was just Hannah Montana and Ice Age 3, it didn't matter at all. I've since changed my ways and my account since then and so far I'm 6 years clean, but if even one person can learn a lesson from me then this has all been worth it. Thank you. P.S I don't mind if people on my friends lit know my name as I don't usually add people I don't know on at least some friendly level or know I will get to know them to that standard.

SaltyCat Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I set my real life name as Rollo TheCat so I don't care. The name is based on Tales of Xillia 2 cat Rollo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsionicDreamer Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I am a rather private person, so if we know each other IRL, then sure, I'll accept it. But with strangers I tend to refuse and send a regular friend request back. I don't mind giving my first name to people I trust, or whom I am on a friendly basis with. However because my surname is quite rare, I've set up a fake one to bamboozle people. The thought of strangers on the internet being able to know my address or what I do for a living based on my name makes me kind of uncomfortable tbh. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The names we use on PSN should be enough, or even on this site. I could care less what anyone's real name is. I think for certain people its just another OCD they have. I used to like my friend list organized/uniformed. I used to not take real name as it messes up the order. Now Im ok with it, mostly for friends I had talk to regularly. Its a conflict to myself. Some just dont like it even though I know where they live, their name, school they go to everything...#shrugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myu Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I got several real name requests over the last couple of weeks and I hate it. I barely know most of my "friends" on PS4 and I don't understand why they need to know my real name. One of them kept messaging me with "real name request?" over and over again until I deleted him from my friends' list. Not a single one of my IRL friends I sometimes play with have asked for it. I also don't like when people put their face as their profile pic. This is not facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodytears1666 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I don't even pay attention of what kind of request I have received, anyway I love my name and don't see a threshold for sharing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I don’t have any problems in sharing my real name. I always accept the requests. It’s just my name and I actually feel more comfortable using it than my PSN ID. Hopefully, we will be able to change ID’s soon and I will be able to change mine to something similar to my real name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ_Radio Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I don't share my real life name with anyone unless it's a friend that I can trust and I have known for at least two or three years. For most people I only share my first name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Asvinia Posted October 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2018 I don't like it since as said previously, a lot of information can be found by knowing someone's real name. That said, I don't care too much about giving out my first name since millions of people worldwide share it. I would never give out my surname as only a few people have it, and combining both my names results in just a couple of people in my country that I'm aware of. Once you find out the country and my rough age - all stuff people take for granted -, you can easily find me. And I'm old enough to remember when the internet was new and every website was like "Under no circumstances give people any of your real information!", now sites are like "RealID, Address, Phone#, Photo." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachBoardyHD Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I don't get why someone would be so private to reveal their name, unless you live a cover life, a stranger can't do much with knowing your real name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received one today from an individual on my friend list who I don't know all that well, and I have mixed feelings about that. Thoughts? While I don't give out my real name randomly online, I don't think it's that big of a deal in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YROSHIKU Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I just put Świętożyźń Konstantynopolitanczykowianeczka to troll with people, never shared my real name with people I've met online, there's way too many weirdos/creeps out there.

Charizarzar Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I never really liked your real name being displayed on PS4 so I just used a fake goofy one anyway. Wouldn’t really see the need to share names unless they’re a close PSN friend or someone I already know irl, but it’s all down to preference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingGuy420 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I usually have a name in there that I find funny and normally change it every few weeks. I send real life friends name requests to try to get a laugh out of them. 90% of the time, they're doing the same thing lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
